The autumn rose skirt

Description

I have been feeling a weirdly not creative for two or three days. The best way to get out of that, for me, was to use a TNT pattern, and a fabric that I love! Do you remember this dress? I made it for a wedding. I have decided to use the skirt pattern. It comes from the spring/summer Ottobre magazine. Although, I have made a few changes…

- I have cut an extra belt, and interfaced it. The skirt looks way neater that way, I think.
- There is also a full underskirt, basically, 2 big rectangles pleated at the belt.
- I used french seams for the underskirt, it was my first time.
- There is an invisible zipper on the side
- I have done my best at an invisible seam, but, as the fabric is too thick and as I pressed it, you can see it a little from the outside…

I feel like Laura Ingalls in that skirt, I just want to bow all the time while pulling the sides like a princess. It is so so playful!

For the progress on the skirt, anecdotes, and other posts coming from my weird brain, click me!

Awesome skirt!!
I have a goal… to make a top I’m planning to wear to my cousin’s wedding dinner next month! i’m excited and scared at the same time because it’ll be only my second ever project. And it’s sort of an original design.

i love your skirt and the fabrics you used (both the inside and the outside!) even more the fact, that it makes you feel like a princess. isn’t this its all about?? a little “dressing up” that we loved so much in our childhood, that gives us the feeling as if we would be someone else for a while!

That’s a nice skirt and even better because it makes you feel like a princess : )
It looks like you could wear it inside out, too.
I also had a look at your blog; you’ve been to biiig fabric market, how fun!
